I thought it was a great movie. I own the video and always think about upgrading to the dvd now and then. What I liked most were the little things, the details they put in like the cigarettes that were two thirds filter. But as great a performance as the main characters gave, I have to say, the guy who played the president was the worst actor I've ever seen.

I have the regular DVD. I don't think it's available with any extras but it is one of the titles I've seen available in Super Bit.

She's a female, she's got a pretty face, and she's got an athletic body. Granted, she doesn't have a huge rack, but so what? Are you really that picky about women?
PS. I bought the movie on DVD and have watched it many times. Excellent film.

This film was a lot of fun. The visuals were great. I like all the buxom flight attendents on the way to Faustan Paradise. One of these days I'm going to pick up the DVD.
As for Milla, she is a little too thin for me. Pretty face though, no doubt about it.
The flight attendants and their outfits were great. I also liked the uniforms for the women working at McDonalds. They showed a lot of McCleavage with their rather large McRacks.

Was that in the script, or ad-libbed?
Screw up, that they either didn't catch before release or thought it was funny and insignificant. Either way, its a nice easter egg.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

Not only that. Most futuristic SF movies tend to have a lot of black, white, grey, and generally muted colors. The Fifth Element was a concious attempt to add more to the palet and was quite succesful.

They may have claymores and Dragons, but we have Bolos and Ogres.
Read a rumor years ago, before Episode One, that Lucas wanted to split directing the prequels between himself, Spielberg, and Besson.
If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

Nothing sexier than a woman kicking ass.
I have to disagree in this one case (as a general rule, you're right). The fight scene looked too fake, even for this movie. It almost seemed like someone decided to take a bad anime fight scene and make it live action. Maybe I'd feel different if it weren't for the "slap-'em-silly" move near the end. That just got to me.

IIRC he said "Mr Wallace" not "Willis" and was then corrected to "Dallas". I don't think it was a screw up.

Maybe that's what they want you to think.
